Audio codec / sample rate / bit depth

What we measure and how

Per-audio-stream validation of codec name, sample rate, and bit depth against the spec's `assets.audio` block. PCM 24-bit at 48 kHz is the broadcast-canonical configuration; departures (16-bit PCM, AAC, MP3) flag against `assets.audio.codec.allowed` / `assets.audio.bit_depth.allowed`.
